***Dolenz In “Aida” / Nez Newz***Happy new year to Monkees fans worldwide! To start off 2003, MickyDolenz has announced exciting plans that will take him across thecountry for half the year: “I have been offered and have accepted awonderful role in the Elton John & Tim Rice musical ‘AIDA’. Thecharacter is ‘Zoser’ and it is an incredible part—I sing two of thebest songs in the show and I am the ‘bad guy’. I will be on tour withthe National Company for six months, starting in Fort Myers, Florida,on February 25th, and then they have guaranteed me the role onBroadway starting in January of 2004!” (Announcement from MaggieMcManus) Also, just a few days ago, I talked to a Videoranchrepresentative who gave me the latest scoop on what Nez has beendoing to keep busy these past few months. They said that his upcomingalbum, “Rays” is coming along fine and that he’s also “juggling a fewother projects” at the same time. So far, from what they know, thealbum should be comprised of about 13 tracks and features a lot ofother great musicians like Luis Conte on percussion, Gregg Bissonetteon drums, Chester Thompson on the B3, and a lot Nez’s signatureguitar work. In addition to “Rays,” Nez is spending a lot of his timewriting his second novel, American Gene, which should be done inthe “next couple of months.” When asked about the storyline for thebook, all they would say was that it’s supposed to take place on theTexas Gulf Coast.

Brad,

I don’t know if anyone’s emailed the list about this, but I wanted totelleveryone that there is a snippet of Peter introducing the BuffaloSpringfield at Monterey Pop Festival on the Monterey Festival BoxedSetDVD. It’s on disc three, “the Outtake Performances” and Peter seemsverywith it and sweet (and of course, he’s having a cute hair day!).It’sonly a few secs, but I was very surprised and happy to see it. Theboxedset is great and the view of Micky at the end of the Ravi Shankarperformance and now Peter on the outtakes makes it a have a neatlittleMonkees connection.

In the December 31, 2002 issue of The National Enquirer the guys arementioned in the column entitled The Scoop in the regular featureentitled MovieInsider which is on page 40. In the paragraph the guys fame isbrieflydiscussed and it concludes by discussing briefly that new singers andactors are being auditioned for a new movie and a new version of the(absolute, all time world’s best, in my opinion!) group. In myopinion,David, Michael, Peter & Micky are # 1 always!Thank you,Nez4Ever1230
